i'm using flash 8 and have some movies with 4-6 frames each. each frame has a different body of static text with no anti aliasing. for every movie, the text becomes blurry on the 3rd or 4th frame.
does anyone know why this is or how to fix it?
i know that using dynamic text makes everything crisper, but i want to avoid using that as it is harder to format in this case.
thanks!

not using fl8, but i am assuming that you have the text at whole pixels. no decimals, right?

that is correct. the text where it appears normally (first 2 frames) and where it appears blurry is set at the exact same size

weird.
sorry, but i am no help. :[

Check to make sure you didnt accidentally scale it by .01 percent by checking the TRANSFORM pallette.
Check to make sure you didnt accidentally hit a blur FILTER on those.
Make sure the X and Y's are on even integers (ie. _x = 65 NOT _x = 86.4).

hey davi-t, I've got some 10pt verdana set to bitmap on a site and the letter spacing is kinda jacked what can I do to make it right?

Make sure the text X and Y are on even integer numbers (ie. 4,6,10 and not 3,5,7)....or the other way around. Just not one even and the other odd, make sense? Also, make sure the kerning is set to zero.

I had the same problem with like 50 banners i had to do for a client. I had to individually kearn each letter. Fun!

Thats Flash for you.
You can fix almost every Flash text and bitmap f-up prob by putting them on even integers. If u have the time, u should prolly put everything on even integers. Use Snap To Pixels for just about everything, if u can of course.
